🇷🇺🇻🇪 On April 18, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov visited Venezuela as part of his tour of Latin American countries.

During the visit, which took place in a traditionally friendly atmosphere, the Russian Foreign Minister had a meeting with President Nicolas Maduro and held detailed talks with Executive Vice President Delcy Rodriguez and Minister of Foreign Affairs Yvan Gil.

The parties underscored their mutual satisfaction with the dynamic development of political dialogue and practical cooperation within the framework of their strategic partnership.

Implementation of joint trade, economic and investment projects and coordinated steps aimed at building up ties in research, sports, culture and tourism was discussed.

They reaffirmed their shared intention to continue closely coordinating their approaches at multilateral venues, including collaboration within the Group of Friends in Defence of the Charter of the United Nations, in the interests of ensuring the supremacy of international law, creating a more just polycentric international order, and maintaining global stability and security.

☝️ The parties resolutely denounced the use of unilateral restrictive measures as a tool for bringing pressure to bear on sovereign states and as a factor in destabilising the international situation.

The Russian side expressed its invariable support for the Maduro Government’s efforts to stabilise the situation at home.

🇷🇺🇺🇸Ответ Посла России в США А.И.Антонова на вопрос СМИ

: Уважаемый Анатолий Иванович, как бы Вы могли прокомментировать ситуацию с невыдачей виз некоторым членам российской делегации, направляющимся в Нью-Йорк на мероприятия СБ ООН, а также всем сопровождающим журналистам?

💬А.И.Антонов: Поведение американцев возмутительно. До сих пор разрешения не оформлены ряду членов делегации и журналистам, командируемым в США для сопровождения участия Министра иностранных дел С.В.Лаврова в мероприятиях председательства России в Совете Безопасности Организации Объединенных Наций.

👉Налицо пример вопиющего злоупотребления Соединенными Штатами своим положением как страны размещения штаб-квартиры ООН. Администрация США не первый раз препятствует нашему полноценному участию в работе Всемирной организации и надлежащему функционированию самой международной структуры.

Невыдача виз журналистам красноречиво иллюстрирует американские двойные стандарты. В очередной раз убеждаемся в том, что местные власти готовы на практике соблюдать декларируемые принципы свободы слова и прессы, только если это не противоречит их конъюнктурным интересам.

⁉️Может, местной общественности, так любящей выискивать недостатки у нас, обратить внимание на несоблюдение властями Соединенных Штатов базовых международных обязательств и элементарных норм дипломатической практики? По крайней мере, это было бы честно.

⚡️Еще раз призываем Вашингтон прекратить создавать искусственные препятствия и требуем незамедлительно оформить разрешения на въезд всем заявленным российской стороной участникам.

⚡️ The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation has issued a report «The Human Rights Situation in Ukraine». The situation in this country seriously deteriorated in 2022.

This is confirmed by the many cases on record of grave human rights violations in all spheres of public life, as well as the unwillingness to take action to improve the situation on the part of those who call themselves the country's leaders.

A number of researchers have rightly noted that the Kiev regime underwent a political mutation in 2022. The environment that it created in the wake of the martial law allowed it to build an authoritarian rule in that country which can be described as:

• an absolute monopoly on power,
• out-of-court reprisals,
• tough censorship,
• liquidation of almost all independent media and the destruction of political opposition,
• total state propaganda,
• an active search for traitors and fictional Russian spies and saboteurs.

Having adopted the ideology and practices of the Ukrainian national radicals, the current regime has, in fact, degenerated into a neo-Nazi dictatorship.

👉 The rights of internally displaced persons (IDPs), the Russian-speaking people and representatives of ethnic minorities, of whom there are many among the IDPs, have been restricted.

👉 Kiev’s campaign against the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church has reached a new level in terms of cynicism and hypocrisy.

👉 Numerous violations of citizens' rights to a fair trial continue to occur, especially in criminal cases related to the conflict in Donbass.

👉 With the tacit permission of the Kiev authorities, right-wing radical combat units use civilians as a human shield.

👉 Russian servicemen that have been taken hostage are being held in terrible conditions and subjected to torture and other forms of inhuman and cruel treatment.

❗️The Ukrainian authorities discarded the very thought of bringing perpetrators of these grave crimes to justice.

Ровно 2️⃣4️⃣0️⃣ лет назад, 19 апреля 1783 года, императрица Екатерина II издала Манифест о присоединении к Российской империи Крымского полуострова. Этот документ на века обеспечил для России надёжный выход к Чёрному морю и безопасность её южных регионов.

📈 После присоединения в регионе была ликвидирована процветавшая веками работорговля, заложены новые города, в том числе Севастополь, мощный импульс к развитию получили экономика и культура. Также были отменены внутренние торговые пошлины, что поспособствовало развитию крымского сельского хозяйства, промышленности и торговли, и бурному росту крымских городов.

🗝 Манифест, составленный императрицей Екатериной II и генерал-фельдмаршалом князем Г.А.Потёмкиным, хранился в строжайшей тайне в деревянном ящике, обитом железом. Императрица опасалась как новой войны с Турцией, так и вмешательства европейских стран. Только после того, как жители Крыма с помощью «присяжных листов» присягнули на верность России, манифест был обнародован.

☝️ Одну из ключевых ролей в процессе присоединения и развития Крымского полуострова сыграл Г.А.Потёмкин, назначенный Екатериной II на должность генерал-губернатора Новороссии. Современники отмечали, что за короткое время Потёмкину удалось превратить степи Крымского ханства в перспективный, динамично развивающийся регион Российской империи.

2️⃣4️⃣0️⃣ years ago, on April 19, 1783, Empress Catherine the Great published a Manifesto on the accession of the Crimean Peninsula to the Russian Empire. This document gave Russia reliable access to the Black Sea and ensured the security of its southern regions for centuries ahead.

📈 After the accession, the Russian authorities banned slave trade, which had existed in the region for centuries, and built new cities, including Sevastopol. The economy and culture received a powerful impetus for development. Domestic trade duties were cancelled, which facilitated the progress of Crimean agriculture, industry and trade and a rapid growth of Crimean cities.

🗝 The Manifesto, which was written by Catherine the Great and General-Field Marshal Grigory Potemkin, was kept in great secrecy in a wooden box upholstered with iron. The Empress had apprehensions about a new war with Turkey and interference by European countries. The Manifesto was published only after the residents of Crimea swore allegiance to Russia by signing oath sheets.

☝️ Grigory Potemkin, who was appointed by Catherine the Great Governor-General of Novorossiya, played a key role in the accession and development of Crimea. His contemporaries noted that he managed to turn the steppes of the Crimean Khanate into a promising and flourishing region of the Russian Empire in a short span of time.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov exclusively for #Newsweek: Russia says U.S. 'hostile policy' on Ukraine could kill last nuclear treaty (April 19, 2023)

Key points:

🔹The United States uses a twisted logic. On the one hand, they refuse to engage with us on a business-as-usual basis. At the same time, they insist on returning to the regular cooperation on the issue of the New START Treaty verification regime. The U.S. military is clearly itching to get into Russian bases which store nuclear weapons.

We do not agree with such an approach. The overall negativity in Russia-U.S. relations cannot but affect arms control. It is impossible to view these matters in isolation from the politico-military and geostrategic realities.

🔹It was 🇺🇸 that unilaterally suspended the bilateral strategic stability dialogue the main goal of which was to lay the foundation for future arms control and risk reduction measures.

🔹The cumulative nuclear capabilities of the NATO countries are growing in importance given the ability of the United States, Great Britain and France to deploy their arsenals against Russia in a coordinated manner. We cannot afford to ignore this factor when considering the future of the Treaty.

🔹White House official doctrines say nothing about the U.S.-Russia strategic stability dialogue.

⁉️What needs to be done to return to the Treaty's full-scale functioning? The answer is simple. The U.S. has to reconsider its hostile policy toward our country and abandon its course of escalating threats to Russia's national security. However, the White House has stated that Washington will not stop 'pouring oil on the fire' of the Ukrainian crisis.

☝️Apparently, resolving the Treaty issues is not a priority for the Administration. Nevertheless, Russia will not follow the American example. We remain committed to a responsible approach to strategic stability. We intend to voluntarily adhere to the central quantitative limits on strategic offensive arms stipulated in the Treaty. In addition, we will continue to participate in the exchange of notifications with the U.S. on ICBM and SLBM launches in accordance with the respective 1988 U.S.-Soviet agreement.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov’s answer to a media question

: Dear Ambassador, how could you comment on the situation with the non-issuance of visas for some members of the Russian delegation traveling to New York for the UN Security Council events, as well as to all accompanying journalists?

💬Anatoly Antonov: American behavior is outrageous. So far, permissions have not been issued to a number of members of the delegation and the journalists sent to the United States to accompany Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who is participating in the UN Security Council events, chaired by Russia.

👉 This is an example of a blatant abuse by the United States of its position as the host country of the UN headquarters. This is not the first time that the U.S. administration has hindered our full participation in the work of the World Organization and the proper functioning of the international structure itself.

The non-issuance of visas for journalists eloquently illustrates American double standards. We are convinced, once again, that the U.S. authorities are ready to observe in practice the declared principles of freedom of speech and press, only if it does not contradict their opportunistic interests.

⁉️ Maybe the U.S. public, which is so fond of looking for the flaws in our country, should pay attention to the failure of the U.S. authorities to comply with basic international obligations and elementary norms of diplomatic practice? At least that would be fair.

⚡️We once again urge Washington to stop creating artificial obstacles and demand to issue entry permits to all participants declared by the Russian side without any delay.
